Dental Tip Tuesdays (June 26, 2012)

June 20th marked our official first day of summer! With that 90 degree heat and bright shining sun, don’t forget to use a sunblock to protect your skin. While a higher SPF means greater protection from the sun’s harmful rays, the most effective sunscreen is actually SPF 30. After this point the effectiveness of the lotion plateaus and only has a 1-2 percent change in protection if at all. Protect your skin from aging, burning, and harmful rays that can cause cancer by remembering to apply sunscreen 15 minutes before sun exposure. Next time your at the store picking up sunscreen, make sure it has both UVA and UVB for the best coverage!
